At some
point in our lives we will face our Red Sea. It will be something harder than we
ever imagined. There will appear to be no way through or around it. But just as
the Lord parted the Red Sea for His people then, He parts the Red Sea for His
children now.
Moses never failed in
trusting God. With the sea in front of him and the Egyptians advancing from
behind, He stood at the very edge of what appeared to be sure destruction. There
was no visible escape. There was nothing but faith in the Lord who had brought
them to this place. Moses had done all he could do, and now it was for time for
God to act. Moses waited for God to make a way, but he had to go to the very
edge of the Red Sea.
When faced
with our Red Sea, we sometimes pull back. We believe that there is no way to go
further, and we give up. Perhaps we see our Red Sea rising in the distance, and
we turn from its imposing presence. But the army of life presses us closer. We
must go as far we can―right
up to the very edge, and God will handle the Red Sea.
What will
I do when I see my Red Sea ahead? I will go the the very edge and wait for God
to part the water. If I do not go to the very edge, I will miss the power of God
to save. But by faith I go to the very edge. It is not only the edge of my Red
Sea; it is the edge of myself. I know that there is nothing that I can do.
Believing, trusting, and knowing the waters will part, and I will go forward
through what otherwise might have destroyed me. And I will find
Him.
